The resolution, titled the "Modification Nos. 4, 5, and 6 to Contract No. CW88823 with Mansfield Oil Company of Gainesville, Inc. Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025," declares an emergency regarding the need to approve modifications to an existing contract with Mansfield Oil Company. The modifications include a partial option for the third year of the contract, which has been executed in stages, increasing the total contract value to over $1 million. The urgency for approval stems from the necessity to continue vital services provided by Mansfield Oil and to authorize payment for goods and services received and to be received under the contract.
The resolution outlines that the Office of Contracting and Procurement executed Modification No. 4 on November 22, 2024, with subsequent modifications extending the contract period and increasing its total value. Council approval is required to ensure that Mansfield Oil can be compensated for services rendered beyond the $1 million threshold during the specified period. The resolution emphasizes that the circumstances warrant immediate action, allowing it to be adopted after a single reading and taking effect immediately.
